Having divorced (离婚) my dad, my mom had to move frequently in order to find a job that would provide her with enough money to support the big family For three years, we lived in the town of Parkersburg On the first Christmas there, my brothers and I had been well prepared for a holiday without presents But we had a surprise on Christmas Eve

At midnight, we were woken up by someone shouting at our front door, “Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!” We jumped up and ran to the door to find no one there, but several boxes and bags! Not only were there gifts, which were our favorite, but there were also clothes and food Each of us kids, as well as Mom, had gifts with our names on them And the clothes all fit us!

Another year went by and on Christmas Eve, we again got boxes and bags full of goodies The next year we moved We were in the same town but across the other side Mom was beginning to get on her feet Since we had moved and Mom had a better job, we were quite certain that “Santa” wouldn’t visit us that year But we were wrong!

Those “Santa” visits restored in me the belief in the goodness of mankind, though to this day we don’t know who our helper was

When we grew up, Mom moved to Virginia She had some extra money one Christmas She sent it to me and let us know her decision We then took action My husband and children had so much fun buying and wrapping presents for the needy family we had chosen On Christmas Eve, we allowed the excited kids to stay up late to be part of our secret “Santa” project

Such satisfaction there was in being able to pass on the gift of love to others who needed it And the gift goes on!

A heart attack can happen to anyone Let’s say it’s 5:20 pm and you’re driving home alone after an unusually hard day on the job You’re really tired, upset and frustrated Suddenly, you start experiencing terrible pains in your chest, and they spread to your arm and up into your jaw You are only about five miles from the hospital which is nearest your home Unfortunately, you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far You’ve been trained in a CPR course, but the guy who teaches the course hasn’t told you how to perform it on yourself What can you do?

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seems to be quite useful Without help, people whose hearts stop beating properly and who begin to feel faint (头晕的) have only about 10 seconds left before they faint However, they can help themselves by coughing over and over very loudly A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, coming from inside the chest Deep breaths and coughing must be repeated about every two seconds without stopping until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze (挤压) the heart and keep the blood circulating The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it beat normally In this way, people who are suffering a heart attack can get to a phone and between breaths call for help

Tell as many other people as possible about this, as it may save their lives!

Psychologists in Britain have said that the last full week of January is the most depressing time of the year, and have labeled the Monday of that week “Blue Monday”, the most depressing day of the year Mondays are generally seen as the worst day of the week because people feel grumpy(烦躁的) and tired at having to go back to work after a weekend with a different sleep pattern

There are various reasons why more people feel depressed at this time of year Many people have unpaid credit card bills for the Christmas presents they bought As the party season is over, people feel stressed because they have to go back to real life — work and commuting; they may be unhappy with their body image after eating too many cakes, chocolates, and other food at Christmas-time People may have already failed in their New Year’s plans, such as giving up smoking The bad weather in January can also contribute to people feeling fed up

Some companies are taking this quite seriously and offering suggestions for all the staff who are feeling depressed They hope that helping people as soon as there are signs of depression will keep people from taking time off Evidence shows that unreasonable managers who contribute to their staff feeling fed up at this time can expect an uncooperative (不合作的) workforce

However, it’s not all bad! Many people feel optimistic at this time — that things can only get better Psychologists offer suggestions of how to fight against feeling blue These include spending 15 minutes doing a “gratitude exercise”, thinking about and writing down what you are grateful for, such as health, family, friends and so on Taking up a new hobby, doing some exercise, going to bed earlier, eating a healthy breakfast, and listening to some cheerful music are all recommended (推荐) as ways to feel more cheerful

68 How many reasons are mentioned in this passage for feeling depressed in January?

A 2      B 3         C 4          D 5

69 We can learn from the passage that if we say someone is blue, we mean he is ______

A wearing blue clothes          B feeling down

C very scared               D very worried

70 What can we learn from the passage?

A Everyone feels depressed during the last full week of January

B Many workers leave their jobs during the most depressing time of the year

C Some people are not sad in January as they know that all the following months will be better

D Psychologists are working hard on how to solve the “Blue Monday” problem
